    well, I got it around the 15th, so I still have a few more days to listen to it. Afterwards, I will post the review up. So don't you worry. :biggrin:

    So far though, it is rather impressive for what it actually is.

    Of course. I have a SB50 sitting in my closet if you want to borrow it.

    Mark, thanks for the offer but I see that the SB50 requires an AVR. I'm not planning on adding an AVR for this particular setup. I just want to keep it as simple as possible. Thanks again but I'm going to have to pass.

    Doro, how does the SB50 compare to the SB3000 sonically? (the subwoofer notwithstanding)

    Not a chance. I would loved to keep this longer, but I did not want to be deemed a soundbar hog you know?
    Anyway, if that is the case please do take your time. It really is an amazing piece.
